Good topic mate. Here's my 2 cents. Too much player contact can make this game feel like any other FPS game. Too little contact is where we're at now. We're looking for a golden number that works. The map has increased in size roughly about 133% comparing the mod to SA. Yet the player count has stayed the same. The mod player density felt absolutely perfect. The player density has gone down significantly in SA.
Adding on top of that that the cars don't work properly and never get used. For one, cars create a sense of stuff happening in the world since they are loud and can be heard from afar. 2, they also drive up player interaction per session since they were a highly contested piece of equipment in the mod.
Again, not mindlessly bashing the game. Just stating my experiences with the mod and SA. (this will probably get me banned/blocked again but whatever)
Silo Entertainment Hi Silo
Silo Entertainment hai person:)
Silo Entertainment if i were gay, I'd tap you
Couldn't agree more. I do wish cars would get higher priority.
Make the map bigger but add bicycles
*run for 3 hours*
*Killed instantly by enemy I didn't even see*
Beeholder, did you really only run for 3 hours? Well, it is your choice what to do, the game is not responsible for that.
*Run for 6 hours*
*breaks legs walking down stairs*
Instead of running, try to play the game sometimes. ;-D

You even captured the scent of rancid doritos and mountain dew.
Well played my friend
yeah but there are still the problems of:
1. 99% of players shoot on site, so you can't really risk 3 hours of painfully boring menial labor just to get what is basically a discord server with guns, keeping in mind not everyone is going to be this fascinating role playing comedic genius.
2. The running speed is obnoxiously slow. No real further explanation needed.
3. It takes far, far too long to get decent gear as opposed to rust where it isn't risky, luck of the draw looting but farming nodes which gives decent, consistent gear.
4. There's always that one asshole who has a scoped m4a4 and spends his time killing nakeds.
How many hours have you got on dayz sa?
And im sure you love pubg. If you aren't willing to spend time playing, this will never be the game for you.
What do you mean rust isn’t risky
@@bigpapa4755 think he meant not risky in comparison
This was a well produced video mate!
Do you guys like this kind of content and should I do more?
Also check out the artist: x-chopper.deviantart.com/
Loved it, Cyborg. And yes, I think you should do more like it.
Please do more! I love the little character dude :D
dude what a nice Video ! u should know that :D great opinion which i just can agree mate, and the best of all its definetly not from a subjective side.
pls go on! awesome vids since years ;)
Great video but near the end of it i saw that you addressed that the game doesn't have much content currently, maybe that's what people mean when they talk about that dayz is boring, personally i was addicted to the arma 2 mod and is probably my favorite game of all time, i'm sad to standalone come out with a lack of content ( originally planned to have every thing that mod already had in its release in 2013-2014 ) I have hopes tho that standalone will reach its full potential soon. in any case a great video :D
Hey man I've send you a private message please have a look on it, you would love to see it, :D
Btw, keep on the good work bro, I don't care what type of video are you doing either experiment or not.
Well if you think pressing Shift + W is fun. Then this is your game.
Boxy figure out the steam-tab auto-run
changed my attitude towards the game.. but yeah holding down those keys for nearly an hour continuously can be a little tedious
I think you guys are missing the point of his comment. Hes saying all you do is run constantly in this game, and hes right. Last time i played which was 6 months ago or so, I played for hours and found nothing. I found guns but not the ammo for those guns, I found some food but not much, I think I saw 1 zombie, and no other players.
Thanks.
Some Beach then join a big server
In my opinion, DayZ is a fantastic game. Is the scammy development that ruins it.
You are god damn right
why they got this om their hands bro @bohemia is lazy af
Players ruined it for me back stabbing spawn farming so on its just bad
@@trigerrdeadshady6173 Bohemia are doing a great job now
I was bored when I first got this, then I started to realize how crazy this game is. You can do more in this game than I've ever seen in any other game. My first interaction took 8 hours, he tried to sneak up on me and shoot me without a word, he missed. I turned around and beat him to death with a wrench lol. It takes so long to gear and it really instills in you a real sense of self-preservation and cautiousness, it's pretty awesome.
Lead by example, that's all I'm saying.
That's like the motto for your channel!
Yeah, that sounds about right. :p Good video though.
Your videos really make me look forward to when I get a good PC and hopefully buy DayZ - I can't imagine myself as an aggressive player, so I'll probably die a lot, but hey, like you said, it's all part of the experience. Perhaps one day, I might even come across you :D
Le Jammie Dodgere That's the spirit Lad
Le Jammie Dodgere that's what I thought when I started playing dayz, but the fights are drugs the adrenaline possessed my play style in dayz it's hard to change but enjoyment of grief will consume you.
I always think it isn't important if people are friendly or aggressive. What matters is that you create entertaining and fun situations for the people that are playing. Killing people on sight for no reason, yeah that sucks, because it will just be over and that's it. Kidnapping someone into the forrest and killing him after a long time or becoming friends with him later, why does that suck? Pretty fun(ny) to be in that situation tbh.
+The Lazy Gamer There is no game out there where you have so much options as to what you can do as DayZ. DayZ is also one of the few games where not everything revolves about the PVP. DayZ is about people and situations, don't play DayZ as if it's a hardcore shooter, you'll have a bad time. The fact that you don't meet people that often in DayZ is also a good thing, because there aren't that many interactions, every interaction will feel more rewarding and special and players aren't as likely to instantly shoot eachother that way.
Play arma dayz, not this shit
2300+ hrs in the game. One of the best gaming experience of life.
I remember a real long time ago when I had a friend that played with me every day (pretty much).
We'd spend hours a day collecting and gathering gear, and then even more hours pillaging other people's bases.
Since we did this we made lots of enemies on servers, and attracted lots of people to our base. So, we spent even MORE hours defending our base.
The game truly had endless hours of fun and lots of stuff to do.
Although this video is a bit accurate, I don't think the comparison with call of duty or battlefield is relevant.
DayZ is a bit more towards the genre that covers games such as fallout. The only difference is that DayZ is basically more open world and less competitive
One should understand that DayZ is actually rather unique as the controls and gameplay resemble most competitive fps, but at the same time, is more like a survival game, where u gear up and try to improve your weapons and maintain health by eating and what not. This aspect reminds me of minecraft survival games where the motive is too become very powerful with very good gear
It's not just boring......ITS SOOOOOO FUCKING BORING!
the ultimate boss fuck off
No you.
RetardedMonkey Jr let's play nice
No.
RetardedMonkey Jr nu-uh.
The people aren't bored because they play it wrong. It's because they probably played the original Arma 2 mod before and just had to face the fact that the standalone is complete trash and will never reach the same status. Even after 4 years it's still an early Access game with so little improvement that the dev team should be ashamed of themselves.
hahahaha!!!! oh man you crack me up :D
we gotta do some more experiments soon buddy.
;)
DannyBoyy Eeeeeyyyy!
(Watches entire video) Hey u want 2 play DayZ (serious)
DannyBoyy where have I seen you before . . . (clicks) Heeeeeyyyyyyy, your in the video!!! 😸
Hey Danny, I've been looking for someone to do some DayZ experiments with for my second channel, so if you want some help, then I could help you. I have some new ideas for experiments which haven't been done before, too. Just pm me if you're interested. But if you're not, I can't blame you for not accepting a request from a stranger. ;P
tricky troll ill play with you i have Dayz and have been looking to do a video on it i have ts3 skype and discord im not very big youtuber but im trying to find a collab partner for games like that as there kind of boring to play solo (if you say yes i cuss alot)
The problem with dayz is based on the expectation that players have when playing a survival game. The vast majority plays with the expectation of having a spectacular game, full of content, epic adventures, vehicles, helicopters, boats, zombies, missiles, explosions, etc. As in the legendary frankieonpc videos of the original mod (that's why he plays arma3 now). The developers changed the course of the game forgetting that what made the mod so successful was the great amount of content and variety of game modes that players have, to feel immersed and to have unforgettable moments. Today, in dayz standalone there is only one vast map full of nothing with repetitive and inaccessible villages without first walking 2 hours to finish dead by a sniper. THAT'S BORING
Standalone isn't supposed to be an epic game full of vehicles, explosions and crazy action happening. Standalone is all about the players and the interaction. Meeting people and being in crazy situation with them is fun and because standalone is a slower game and you don't have as many crazy situations as in mod, the crazy situations themselves will feel more rewarding, special and it makes them more memorable. I have played standalone for 600 hours and I'd say every 1/2 hours someone really funny or crazy happens. Just be patient and don't care so much about what you find (gear, cars, weapons, anything) because this game isn't about being a super badass being in crazy action 24/7, it's about meeting people and having fun.
For me standalone is way, way better than the DayZ mod. I can't remember a single epic moment from when I played mod simply because there was too much action, too many vehicles, too many fights and explosions and not enough player interaction. Mod was dull, very much the same as any other open world game, complete chaos. Standalone isn't.

The ignorance, it hurts my brain. What makes you feel entitled to just post blatant lies on RUclips? Gotta do some very basic research, man. Not helping anyone or anything by repeating this garbage.
o no, dayz damage control squad to the rescue!
I want hordes, that helicopter, and the nuke & i'm good! 😢
Just play Dayz RP.
Angus Rude not with the shit that happened recently I wouldn't recommend it
lmao what happened?
Nah, don't play on that server. Its shrouded with hypocrisy and personal agendas. The staff team is full of self-righteous and arrogance. While also trying to maintain the illusion of being fair. They don't exist to fix problems rather than subvert anything that doesn't conform. Think of it like this if you're still not convinced. If you shit talk to someone off their community they will shadow ban your account and tell you to pretty much fuck off. So no, don't get involved in that shit if you value your own dignity and time my dude.
Dak'kon Thank you my kind sir for summing up what happened. o7 to the fallen people who have been banned.
This has been going on for awhile however, to my knowledge i recall in 2015 they even had staff insiders leaking information under the alias of i think bob Dylan or Something. This is retarded, why does the staff and owner make something fun and an activity to something to fear and be angry about? It always pissed me off that its likes a gulag/concentration camp instead of a community. Massive ego problems. Oh did i even tell you guys how the owner secretly tax evaded the Swedish government and used the funds (donations) for vacations that the community didn't even know of or rather didn't donate for?
I remember one time I found some random guy running away from a person with a gun even though the guy with the gun never shot and then came back with a screwdriver shouting "ALRIGHT WHERE IS THAT PRICK" and I feel that that perfectly describes just how great some of the encounters in dayz are
Absolutely fantastic assessment. Hopefully, the world of viewers you have will heed this message.
Interaction leads to experience.
Pretty much. You'll only get lucky if you risk something.
hear me out... i want dayz i just have no money XD
You're not alone...
Comeone, it's 30 dollars at max. It's not THAT much.
Just Caused not if your 15 :p but i hear you
Nolan Bing I'm sixteen, I've got couple of AAA games in my Steam libary. 60 for game is a lot, well for most of them. I bet you get some pick money, too. Or atleast for birthday or something. If not, why don't you borrow it from parents? That's not problem for me, I have summer job and some pocket money.
Just Caused lol i guess thanks for enlightening me with your knowledge
Dayz is never boring but it can be sometime.
Makes no sense, get a grip.
I think the problem is that the game is fucking shit
Dean butchered it and made the standalone *worse* than the original mod, then he jumped ship.
The only good thing about the standalone is that the sales show an interest for these kinds of games, so that developers that are actually competent can give it a shot and maybe make a decent game.
very good explanation and analysis keep it up
i like it to But this game sux :D:DD:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
I found the word eplanation funny so I pinned this.
some much hassle of the x lol
Cyborg Lizard i have a question. what are the specs of your pc?
Sad Fact: Bohemia Interactive made a huge profit from this game in the early alfa so why should they finish it now? Screw these guys...
This is one of the reasons I think Miscreated is so much better than DayZ. In the 10 hours so far that I've played, There hasn't been one life that wasn't interesting. People are a lot friendlier in that game (There are still some KOSers), Sometimes I even team up with random strangers. I think Miscreated is pretty underrated.
You forgot, DayZ is a bug filled piece of shit that has robbed its supporters of 40million Dollars worth of development money, and still is worse off than the mod.
This is SO TRUE. I met a new spawn when I was semi geared. I wasn't gonna kill him because i'm not that kind of guy. I offered him a chance to roll with me and he accepted with a uneasy tone. We rolled for a little, me mostly trying to explain how the eastern side of the map works (he had no idea about the other half of the map) and we heard shots being fired off near gorka. We entered the town, I can tell he was really uneasy and worried if I was gonna kill him. We ran towards alter and saw 2 players at the church. We engaged and I tried my best not to hit him. I killed both of them with my shotgun and collected the loot. He told me that "I never thought someone would help me." He was even more shocked when I gave him a gun with a decent sum of ammo. We made our way to novy stary, where we saw a player in the treeline that borders Stary sobor. My friend ended up dying and I killed the player. We are now friends on steam and I am so glad I made a friend yesterday. We have good chemistry and great game sense. Dayz should be played like the person you are controlling is a real person. Every encounter, every firefight, every town. Is a new experience for encounters.
Forcing content and experience creation in a role play style among strangers is not a good recipe. There is no goal or destination, it is simply an open sandbox themed with ineffectual zombies. No one is going to put in the effort
ascarydude The original Dayz mod was still esentially this. But certain servers had fun and interesting features like base building,digging,unconscious dragging,etc. Dayz doesn't need a purpose. A survival game doesn't need to do anything but have you "survive". They just need to expand on their game and not ignore the fucking community so much.
To actually be able to play DayZ and appreciate it for what it is, even with all the problems that it has I consider you an experienced gamer. DayZ is a fantastic game and yes although like I said all the problems and headaches that come along with the game I hope nothing but good things for this game and hope it becomes better. To me DayZ is one of the most interesting games I have ever played. It is one of a kind. I have 2200hours in it. Great game. It takes skill to manipulate it and play it for what it is in its current stage. If you are crying about it being boring then simply go play Call of Duty.
I really agree with this message. I ran into a geared guy in the middle of the woods one time, and he was unconscious from zombies. he had the uncon clinging to weapon glitch so I killed him thinking he would rekt me if i woke him up. I discovered he had no ammo, and regret finishing him off. I am sure we would have had a great experience. The odds of finding an uncon guy in the woods and I ruined it for a few bullets and ruined military clothes.
Do you think to do face reveal and when will be it ?
I'm going to start a gofundme when it hits $100k ill show my forehead.
Cyborg Lizard Ok ;)
im pretty sure thats his way of saying no haha
do you like greasy, pasty, pimple covered skin? donate now!
Tim G oh of course ye I need it
some of the best interactions/moments i had on dayz is when the devs buffed the zombies in numbers and strength for a very short period of time (before the community cried, and sadly the zombies were reverted back) a few years back now.... we found that rather than fighting the first group of players we saw, the strength was in numbers vs. the zombies & alliances were made.. fighting off hordes, losing friends & allies to the zombies, it was fun & exciting.... one day in particular we went from a group of roughly 4 or 5 players to a group of 20+ all looking out for each other in elektro, in the end it went south & everyone broke off into their factions (or basically every man for himself) & fought it out in the streets of elektro. But for that moment it was always the dayz i'd imagined when i bought the game.... none of this could of happened without the environment & zombies being near impossible to survive for an individual, but far easier when in a group
Isn't it sad that in today's society you have to remind people every few minutes that you aren't trying to tell them how to play the game because if you don't remind them repeatedly over and over they will lash out and accuse you of dictating how they play the game? It really is a shame. Great video about a great game by the way.
When people say nothing interesting happens, i give them this story: I was on a random private hive server (bwaf i think) and I was roaming around cherno as a freshy looking for gear. I had picked up a screwdriver and a can of sardines. I went to the PD to try to find a weapon of some sort and ran into a group of two people. They seemed friendly at first, even when they had chances to kill me they didnt take them. Eventually, we were talking outside and one of their characters started laughing (means he was a cannibal.) I turned to run but got shot in the leg and passed out. Deciding not to just respawn, I let them save me. One of them (He called himself Jackson) decided to bandage and epipen me which made me wake up. with his mosin to my head, he forced me into the PD jail with a broken leg. He shut and locked the door behind him. I made several attempts to escape but I never managed to. Fortunately, he came in to spray me with disinfectant (called it seasoning me as he was a cannibal.) while he was, his friend got shot at and Jackson left the cell to go help his friend, leaving it unlocked. I managed to crawl away from the PD, found a retro military body nearby, fixed my leg, got a gun, went back, and killed them both. it was an awesome moment and its a reason enough for me to say that interesting things can happen all the time.
Dayz is not for arcade players...
Or people who like to have fun.
DayZ is a very niche game, 95% of people will hate it but the 5% of us that love it TRULY love it. :)
dayz is the ONLY game where i can look at gameplay from 3 years ago and gameplay now and see no difference at all
love this chanel it makes my day I love cyborg lizard
Thank. Love u
My favorite interaction i've had so far was on Balota airfield. I was fully geared out, bored, hadn't seen anyone in a while. I spot a guy who was obviously a freshie (no long arms, pea coat, motorbike helmet, capri pants.. you get it) and since killing him would be totally pointless, i decided i would stay in the tree line and snipe the zombies he was trying to melee. This was not only the most fun i've had in dayz but the most fun i've ever had in a multiplayer game. He didnt know exactly where i was and probably thought i was trying to kill him, and kept looking to the treeline. I started at the north west part of the airfield and re-positioned every once in a while, a total of three times over the span of probably 20 minutes, moving all the way to the southern most part of the airfield where i sprinted up to him to say hello. I was sad he didnt have a mic because it would have been really cool to get this person's reaction to what had just happened, but its my new favorite activity in the game and gives a new level of purpose to killing zombies. You really have to get creative with this game once survival isn't a challenge any more!
I have noticed there seems to be an age relation to the view of it being boring. Seems the younger generations and the world of instant gratification are struggling to enjoy DayZ. Thank fuck! They can just move along to whatever the latest and greatest thing is at the mo. Fuck em lol
Baker Scott Kids these days are just a piece of shit
Fuck'em
Or the game lacks content and isn't polished to good standards.
i have noticed quite the contrary. When DayZ came out, my little Brother and his friends - all around 14, 15, 16 years old really dig DayZ and i couldnt understand it, mainly because DayZ was in a far worse technical state at the time.
All my colleagues would be playing LoL or CS. Things that dont require alot of fantasy, are easy to pick up, can be played in quick sessions and priorities competitive gameplay over immersion and player interaction.
I think if someone younger plays something like DayZ, its easier for them to immerse themselves, while people with more experience in video games are more likely to break down games into their mechanics and such.
For them, they actually are running through the streets of cherno, while older gamers are just pressing W+shift.
Still after 600+ hours I still run the Hero role, the interactions I have with people are unique, even if I knocked someone out to save him from eating blue berries(red ones are safe to eat), and saving someone who is getting shot and and starving to death, then feeding him fish. There still are bad experiences, like giving someone a backpack and running with him for half an hour just to get knocked out by him and then being killed. The Bandit role, you dont get those, sure you can hold someone up and FORCE them to talk to you, but they have no reason to trust you.
You know, this also applies very much to rust.
Yes, agreed
rust is one of the best games ever made tbh. it just isnt for everyone
This reminds of the time I did some trading with a fellow player on a roleplaying server. There were no rules against killing traders you met on the forums because there was a blacklist where untrusty people were listed.
So I see a guy asking for a sniping scope in exchange for something off his inventory, he didn't seem to have much but a few rounds of AK74 ammo. I had a magazine for my 74u and a silencer but little to no ammo, I decided to contact him even though he was a trader without reputation (which was literally betting with my gear and life at the moment) and it tingled my danger sensors a bit, but I said screw it and tried to be friendly with the guy.
We set up a meeting place up north and before going in there I scan the area a bit, getting into a place where I could see the place. I see the guy with a mosin on his back, just chilling near a car. I go down and talk a bit with the guy, we exchange items and depart, I honestly expected to get KOS'd since I had an AUG when crash sites weren't spawning at all, found it by coincidence at a corpse and thought anyone would kill for it...but none of that happened, that guy ended up being cool and we added each other in facebook. he asks me If I play league of legends (I did at the time) and to my surprise, he worked at riot games, the developers of that game. hell, he even gifted me a 975 skin just because I didn't murder him with my "bandit guns" lol
I can't wait until the new updates with possible base building come out, I want to start experiencing stuff like that once again (and being a little cheeky bastard, oh how I miss raiding people's bases)
very cool video shame i wont buy dayz regardless but stil

I remember this one time I met a guy who sounded almost exactly like Morgan Freeman. We talked and ventured for hours until we entered the SE abandoned ship. I've got more than plenty of screenshots of our time together, although he unfortunately glitched through the ship and that's where our encounter ended. This has been by far my most memorable experience in this game.
Steven Sackett rip morgan freeman
say did i ever tell you bout the time back in 2k16 when i was playin dayz and i met some random guy in a hospital?
welll i first i didnt trust him much i forced him to bring me all medical supplies in the hospital and he obeyed, course, i had a full shotgun clip
and well we later learned to trust each other anddddd thats how i made a great friend
boring video boring game... jk just boring game
DayZ has some of the worst combat physics I’ve seen
At present, this game is the most useless game that i've every played....
Thanks to bohemia...
i no bro all u do is like run n shit in cod u get a sick sniper rite in the bening its so sik
Ofcourse, it wasn't meant to be for spoiled kids with no mind.
When I get 'bored' I make a plan. Sometimes the plan is getting a car to work or to explore the unkown places or getting dressed up like a pretty lady and tie people up :)
loved the v̲i̲d̲ but this game s̲u̲x̲ :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:
John, this game is just not for spoiled kids with no brain
The best time I have ever had on dayz was over about a 4 month period where I only played a strict RP server, there was no KOS but we could still rob people and sometimes even get into gun fights. RP is a very fun way to play the game, especially with a good group of friends.

i thought that said Dr. Pussy lmao

How to have fun in dayz...
1-Find a gun
2-Fire a single shot in a city
3-Wait
i wish i could interact with random players more, rob someone, get robed, be a prisoner, but from my experience, if i see someone who has a gun, there is 80% chance he will start shooting me ;(. other players are just someone I have to kill so I wouldnt die
I don't own Day Z, but if I ever found someone, I'd do the hostage sort of thing where you handcuff the other person, put them into a building, lockdown the building and forcefeeding the other person disinfectant. Or I could just force them to play the roulette game to get their loot back.
I met couple of my friends in dayz, whom i decided not to shoot and so did they. Few months later we started developing our own game and ended up in finals of Russian Developers Cup with this project.
Good video but it doesn't change the fact that lots of ppl will still find Dayz boring or uninteresting. Its called having different taste/interest.
In the end, if you like the game good for you, if you don't theres also nothing wrong with that.
I just think the game isn't really clear about what it really is so most ppl trying it have wrong expectation going into it thus being extremely disappointed afterwards.
I met most of the ppl I play up to today in game through talking. Sometimes through luck they didn't had a gun and were forced to talk with me but also just talking and then trusting and partnering up and joining teamspeak. Also my very first experience in DayZ was got caught by some Bandits which robbed me as a Bambie but let me live and becoming a member of a fight club were I could fight for my freedom this encounters made me playing the game for over 2000h now and I won't stop.
I've played DayZ for 130 hours now and even if I get to meet someone they always kill me on sight or run away, I've never met someone who actually said anything (except some people who scream unintelligibly while swinging their axe)
Here is a very simple breakdown why DAYZ doesn't work. It's a permadeath, long-term loot find game that also has bug-related deaths.
Got good gear? Played for hours? Fall down a 2-foot step and break your legs, bleed to death and die. Hiding in a room? Have another player glitch their camera through the wall and shoot you without you being able to see him.
They upgrade their graphics and add stupid stuff before fixing game-breaking bugs that spoil the competitiveness
2 guys drive by me and pull up, i ask for a lift they shoot me down a few moments later after i respawn i find a car pick a random guy up and drop him off at staroye tents and go on my way. DayZ
"DayZ is boring...?" Yea, sometimes but when it's not boring it's a heart pounding thrill ride.
Good video. I used to play DayZ a lot. Really enjoyed it but then it got boring. It got boring due to a lack of things to do and due to repetitiveness. I would join a server with some friends. Spend a few hours looting and then go and wandering around, looking for people to meet and places to see but there's nothing. So we join a higher pop server and start over. On that server we loot a few towns, finding basics, one of use dies due to hunger or thirst, unfortunately we can't help that because of the loot spawn rates. After respawn we get KOS, multiple times, by fully kitted people. So we try other servers, rinse and repeat; join, die, respawn, get KOS, respawn again, get chased by some zombies who seem to have speed hacks and stopping would allow them to kill you so you run through multiple towns trying to lose them, die of hunger due to those zombies, respawn, find some good loot, get killed, respawn.
You say about diving in, which is something I am TOO good at in any game, but why would anyone do that? I could have spent multiple real world days just to find enough ammo for my Scorpion and you think that I would want to risk everything I have done just to have a good interaction. I would love to be able to jump in, team up with people, kick some zombie ass, then go back to base talking about how awesome the culling of those zombies was. But, it just cant happen. Not with the amount of people who KOS and the very broken loot spawn system.
No other game gets my heart pumping, my hands shaky, and my breathing hard like DayZ. It's the adrenaline rush that makes DayZ so good. Those 30 minutes of combat is what DayZ is all about. For me atleast
Run around for 8 straight hours, find a pistol, somebody sitting on a hill with a Mosin kills me. Tries to run around again, gets killed on sight. Tries to r- gets killed on sight again. Try to be friendly to people, talk over the mic to try and make friends. Gets killed as soon as I trust the guy saying "I'm friendly". This game is boring. The engine is stale and clunky, the playerbase is cancer, and the devs don't care anymore. They have your money, they ran. The End.
I remember playing the DayZ mod trying to fix up a Car... We spent hours trying to find all the tires and what not to fix it. I met people im still friends to this day with. Just the idea of totally random people trying to band together giving each other beans just for 20 more minutes of life to fix a car to head to the all holy North west air field. Thats what DayZ stand alone is missing... Everything is just about killing now
Interaction is what keeps me going, everytime is a new adventure. If you don't want to get annoyed personally I would say, don't get yourself fully loaded. Just keep seeing DayZ as a game, and games should be played for fun ^^
Gl on surviving everyone ;D
This is the first video of yours I've seen, but I must say I do like the little character thing you've drawn which I assume is meant to be you. Nice work man!
My main pet peeve is that the devs are encouraging going north with the CLE but fucking hell, it's hard to find players near the coast with these 50 player servers let alone meet anyone in a random ass town somewhere in the north-west. The game needs at least 100 more max player slots to work with this kind of set up.
Agreed. This is what the RP servers do so well. The most interesting thing that DayZ actively gives you on its own is when you are a fresh spawn gearing up, the randomness and different gear you get every time is something which makes the experience as interesting as it gets from a non-interaction standpoint. The rest I think has to be provided for by the RP community. DayZ is supposed to be a playground where we create our own scenarios and rules. While there will inevitably be KOS here and there, most of the fun would come from serious roleplaying. I think the expectation by the casual players is a little skewed, with people expecting full-on death-matches right off the bat. But it is not supposed to be a battleground simulator first and foremost.
Personally, I enjoy the survival aspect of it more. I can go hours just trying to survive by finding food, staying warm and dry, scavenging other supplies, take what I can find and keeping away from zombies or other players, defending myself if I have to, etc. The atmosphere is unparalelled, the tranquil abscence of music makes it eerily realistic, you get that sense that you really are a lone wanderer in a deserted world (meeting others just makes it that much more interesting)... and if there is one game that I can just sit down and play to relax, its DayZ. Its almost therapeutical. ^^
Everyone on so often I'll come back and watch this. Very well made video man
This is true. Being in a clan is much better then playing as a lonewolf, I see people that kill everyone they spot to take their gear but what is it for, if they are already with full body armor, decent weaponery and supplies, and honestly paying 28 euros for a game just to pass my time running around the forest, find a hut with a pair of pants, a shirt, shoes, axe and food, and the first seconds I walk off the hut I get shot... That's not the kind of game that I'm willing to pay.
Day Z . Invest 5 hours gathering basic items. Then randomly sniped. Start again. Zombies are just background.
I think it is just that this game is for a specific kind of person and those looking for low attention span instant gratification should probably play COD, CS:GO or PUBG etc. I play as a lone wolf assassin, hiding in the shadows, stealing from stashes and patiently stalking until I can take someone out.
Trying to interact with others seems to end in betrayal or outright hostility, so I don't bother and I really enjoy playing the lone wolf survivor role
I also came to the same conclusion. There are so many people who have quit dayz (at the moment many are quitting as well). Most of them blame the slow development for spoiling their fun and so on. But it is just their playstlye. Every kill on sight is somehow the same. Playing dayz as a shooter will get boring, because dayz, in contrast to battlefield or cod, was not made for that. Interactions either begin, develop or end (or all 3 of them) differently. That's why dayz videos of interactions are unique and worth-seeing.
I personally do not need to condition my playtime on the state of development because I mostly go for interactions. I only kill people "on sight" when I can clearly identify their (in my view) bad playstyle - and that's makes it to a justified kill instead of a kill on sight. If I cannot determine the intetion of others, I always give them a chance to survive.
About 2 years ago, I produced a video called "no to kill on sight". About the same message like you try to convey with this video. There were so many people crying that the video would state that kos is the only correct way to play dayz, that I shall not tell them how to play the game, that dayz would be boring without kos ... I had to tell so many people, that the video shall only influence people and not force them to stop killing on sight. That I want to decline kos instead of eliminating it from the game in order to create a better balance between all the playstlyes. I plan to do a 2nd part and I will incorporate a big disclaimer at the beginning of the video.
If you want to: Search for "no to kill on sight" on youtube and tell me your opinion about the video. I already know what things I am going to improve concerning the 2nd part, but maybe you can give me some feedback. I would be very thankful.
If dayz had the maps & weapons that people in unturned have, the game would be infinitely better I personally think. People in unturned don't cheat or hack for a lot of reasons. The main one being is that servers have so many amazingly fun mods and plugins naturally, that don't take away from the survival experience. Now if dayz had that, it would be infinitely better.
Please stop hating this game.. it's recommended to play it only with cracked version or never do
by the way bro, great vid. I've been playing DayZ since March 2014 and I'd love almost every minute (over 2500 hours.)
5 years later it runs very smooth and so much added.
once uppon a time, in one ofe the evac sites i've spotted guy who started to run into me with his fists. He wanted to punch me in the face so i hited him with my axe. he was unconsius so I used my handcuffs on him and made all his clothes into rags. Then I bandaged him. When he woke up we were talking. He said that if I would took off handcuffs he show me where good loot is. I didnt belived him so killed him. Few seconds later his friend ran into the evac site, missed the shot and provoked 4-5 Zeds. They killed him. I love this game.
the games meant to be a bit boring, it will not last forever as they will want you to buy there next game and the game after, until your so preoccupied that you did not know the word blew up :D
It became boring after like the 3rd patch to standalone after it was released, when they forced everyone to spawn on the east coast and then the devs proceeded completely ruin all the coastal towns. That whole area of the map aka the most populated areas in the mod are now completely irrelevant. Instead of spawning on the coast, running for a few minutes to Elektro and getting a gun you are now FORCED to run inland for literal hours and most likely you will find nothing. This is why no one plays DayZ anymore. This is why it's boring.
he is right people skip a lot by just shooting me in the face as soon as they see me
well cyborg, this is our first video together. i hope you like these flowers i picked you. they were grown in the Isle of Avalon. csnt wait to go tbru your videos later.
thank for the flowers...
This is why I liked origins, it made you go certain places, and have interactions, whilst also giving you something to do when not interacting with other players.
Rickthebanana you mean the call of duty orgins?
thats only in the starting towns, once you escape its ok
Most of the KOS people are the guys who are trash at First person shooters where everyone is trying to kill each other 100% of the time. So naturally when they see they can get kills in a game where not everyone is immediately geared up and trying to pvp, they are going to compensate for being trash at actual combat and treat Day Z like its Counterstrike. Once you face these people where you both are on equal footing you see how genuinely bad they are at the one thing they play Day Z for.
I completely agree with you. But one thing that makes me despise this game sometimes is the time it takes to get place to place, which makes it “boring” when running for 45 minutes
The biggest reason many people here dislike DayZ so much is because of frustration that comes from stuff like dying with good loot, not finding good loot, stuff being hard to get / find (like cars) and people being too aggressive.
I think these are all very bad reasons to dislike the game. It is set in a post-apocalypse, stuff will be rare and you won't meet many people. Also does it matter if you have good stuff or not? Is that the point of the game? No it isn't, it's only important if YOU find it to be important. You can have fun in DayZ without any items, good gear does not equal fun.
I love Dayz so much, because i like collecting things. I have a squad, we hunt, fishing and make a base.
This reminds me a lot of the Devision Beta some years (?) ago.
In the beginning, people were really nice to each other, helped each other out, joined squads, protected random people from rogue players (of which there were very few). Fast forward a few days into the Beta, you couldn't show your head without getting capped, and it's still like that from what I understand.
I try to be nice to people but it ends up that they kill anyone they see, not because they need my gear, because they like to shoot people.
DayZ use to be an amazing game when it was about a 50/50 kill on sight, interact...
Being a hero was so rewarding, and interacting with people who were bandits claiming that they've changed their ways, and you waerily trust them always ready to fire back but trying to see the best in them...
But now that it's basically 100% KOS outside of private/RP servers... DayZ players don't use coms anymore short of trying to trash talk while they're attacking you.
According to 2015 sales, They've gotten $120 million AND THERE ARE STILL BUGS AND GLITCHES. Just watch General Sam's point made of DayZ called People Still Defend This Horrible Game in 2017 . Like WHY DO WE NEED HIKING GEAR AND ONE OF THE NEWEST UPDATES ARE IMPOVED TREES. YES TREES. Y
The ignorance, it hurts. "Yeah bro just watch General Sam's video" uhhh, maybe you should read a status report instead of watching someone who's mining clicks.
last time i played DayZ i was beeing held against my will and they tried to strip me of my gear... i just pulled out an empty gun and before i knew there was this neat black screen with this white colored sentence: You are dead
lovely
I think the large map and infrequent encounters is what makes it the game it is, but thats what makes it good, I remember playing it with a friend and not seeing anybody building suspense but the whole time it was a fun sortof roleplayey experience and I just think its meant for a certain type of person
it's not boring. it's about realism is the fact that you can be bored for 30 minutes and be in dread for 10 seconds before you die. I like the idea of losing all my progress for the day and all my nice weapons if I die. I like needing to check all around me at all times. I love setting up ambushes instead of just shooting the second I see somone.
also I sorry but standalone sucks.
terrible video dayz does not suck you don't need a full auto. I went to northwest with a cross bow killed 2 and sense the map is so big you go only one way up north to find people
Its way more simple then that. Sandbox games only give you the tools to make your fun. People saying its boring are like someone you would
Give tools to build a house and after they done they would say the house isn't the way they want.
Agreed - this is why I like the bow... Less likely to be shot on sight and you get harder gameplay!
